Do you have something you could share at the Gathering?
There will be space to exhibit information about your project / group, so please bring posters, leaflets, reports.
We invite SCCAN members to give short Quick-Fire presentations on one of their projects. An informal session for sharing experience / novel ideas. Even if you’ve never done something like this before, please do consider it. Let us know if you are interested by Wednesday 18 January.

TicketsTickets prices are on a sliding scale. Please pay the amount that you feel comfortable with, knowing that the more expensive tickets go to help subsidise the cheaper tickets for unfunded groups.

We have FOUR FREE TICKETS for people willing to volunteer at the Gathering. We need people to help with: Set up and Tidy up; Registration; and Lunch serving and clearing up. Each task should take about an hour and volunteers will take 2 each. If you’re interested, please get in touch with Eva Schonveld at eva@transitionscotland.org.uk for more information.

Travel bursaries
We hope to have a fund towards travel costs, and will know how much is available by Wednesday18 January. If a travel bursary would enable you to attend, please indicate support requested and total travel costs in an email to Maria at info@scottishcommuntiescan.org.uk before then.

Local AccommodationFancy trying out some SCCAN couch surfing? We have asked local members to host visitors on the Friday night. If you would like one of those beds, or if you live in Edinburgh and can host someone, please indicate so when you book your ticket or email Maria on info@scottishcommunitiescan.org.uk.

Childcare needs booking early
We are very keen to support participants who have childcare responsibilities which would otherwise prevent them from coming. This could be in the form of an activity space within the building or could be support for your child-minding costs. Please email eva@transitionscotland.org.uk BEFORE Wednesday18 January if you wish to bid for this support.
